Five women have come forward to allege that comedian Louis C.K.has masturbated in front of them, sometimes naked, without their consent. The premiere of his new film, ‘I Love You, Daddy’ has been cancelled.

UPDATE: Louis C.K. has released a statement admitting to sexual harassing the five women who spoke to NYT, expressing remorse for the incidents, andapologizing for bringing “pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother.” Read his full statement HERE.

Louis C.K., 50, has been accused of sexual harassment by five women, in a new story broken by The New York Times. In 2002, Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov said they were invited to hang out with the comedian, where he allegedly asked them if he could “take out his penis.” While they thought it was a joke and laughed it off, Louis apparently didn’t see it that way. “And then he really did it,” Dina said in an interview with the newspaper. “He proceeded to take all of his clothes off, and get completely naked, and started masturbating.” HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Louis for comment, and has not heard back at this time.

Dana and Julia aren’t the only women to come forward. Abby Schachner called Louis to invite him to one of her shows in 2003, and she said she could hear him masturbating as the spoke on the phone. Rebecca Corry, another comedian, said that he asked if he could masturbate in front of her while appearing on a TV pilot with him in 2005 — she declined. You can see pictures of the women who’ve accused Louis in the gallery above.

Louis’ publicist, Lewis Kay, told The New York Times on Nov. 7 that the comedian would not respond to any questions about the on-record allegations. In the wake of the article’s release, the New York premiere on Nov. 9 for Louis’ upcoming film I Love You, Daddy, had been cancelled. Louis also canceled an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

When Louis allegedly asked Rebecca if he could masturbate in front of her, she was working as a performer and producer on a TV pilot that Louis was guest starring on. “He asked if we could go to my dressing room so he could masturbate in front of me,” she said. She also claimed she declined and pointed out that he had a daughter and a pregnant wife. “His face got red… and he told me he had issues,” she told the NYT. The show’s executive producers, Courteney Cox and DavidArquette, both confirmed that they were told about the incident. “What happened to Rebecca on that set was awful,” Courteney said in an email. The Friends actress also said she felt “outrage and shock” and that her main concern was “to create an environment where Rebecca felt safe, protected and heard.”

A fifth anonymous woman who worked on The Chris Rock Show with Louis in the late ’90s told the newspaper that he repeatedly asked to masturbate in front of her. She said she initially allowed it, but later on questioned his actions. “I think the big piece of why I said yes was because of the culture… He abused his power.” she told the NYT. An anonymous co-worker from the show told the publication that the woman told him her story at the time that they were working together.
